You can use a set of blocks to forge (red hot and bend it) it down, you can cut it off, leaving a stump and then a new on the lathe and weld it on. Use a flat piece of steel and make a "butter knife bolt handle". Many solutions.

A long time ago, I bought a "bent bolt kit", cut off the original bolt, and took it to a welding shop to weld on the replacement. i |

A long time ago, I bought a "bent bolt kit", cut off the original bolt, and took it to a welding shop to weld on the replacement. i I used to do that. I also had a set of blocks to hold the bolt and allow you to re-forge the bolt handle down. There are all kinds of ways to do it - I found one site that would do it for you for $60. -- Cheers, John B. |
